I know few people who say. "I wish I had worked longer." I concluded some years ago that full-time work was highly over rated so designed work that was part-time, half or less of what I was doing previously. It wasn't easy to leave a full-time, well paid job, but it was worth it. Maybe it's part of the risk-reward ratio and maybe it's just breaking free of expectations of others along with the American work hard, get ahead syndrome. Americans seem to work more hours and days than people in other cultures that are healthier and happier than seems the case in the U.S.A. I am looking at why the U,S. dropped from # 16 to #23 on the Gross Happiness Index and my sense is they are overworked, tired, frustrated and disappointed with the results. Stress factors are additional variables in this equation. Sabbatical and sabbath from the same root word meaning "rest." More time to rest, relax and reflect - yes, I vote for that.
